Monday , 31 August 2009
RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met with participants of "Ari Tun"
project in the temple of Garni. The project seeks to introduce Armenia
to young Armenians from all over the world, promote a sense of homeland
and a system of national identity and ethnic values in Diaspora youth
by getting them acquainted with the traditions and customs of our
people and building up moral and educational-cultural bonds between
Armenia and Diaspora.
The head of the Armenian government looked at countrywide
development-related problems and discussed an array of issues relating
to Homeland-Diaspora cooperation with project participants.
Tigran Sargsyan said Armenia-Diaspora relationship is on the upgrade
now. As a result, the Ministry of Diaspora was set up to implement
programs of nationwide importance. Collaboration between Homeland
and Diaspora was said to be a government priority, with those in
attendance being doomed to become the new envoys of the Motherland.
The Prime Minister especially thanked those families having hosted
young visitors, and urged the latter to return to their Homeland.
In conclusion, the head of the executive handed in presents to
the winners of "Ari Tun" project, responded to a broad spectrum of
questions asked by those in attendance, danced with them and attended
a gala concert.
